Doubt comes in at the window, when Inquiry is denied at the door. — Benjamin Jowett

"We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique."

"We have sought truth, and sometimes perhaps found it. But have we had any fun?"

"[The office of the interpreter] is to read Scripture like any other book."

"Nowhere probably is there more true feeling, and nowhere worse taste, than in a churchyard (p. 244)."

"I hope our young men will not grow into such dodgers as these old men are. I believe everything that a young man says to me (p. 250)."

"One man is as good as another until he has written a book."
